You are not a pest. At least with the way you worded the topic, I had to sit back and laugh.

I actually have three Fleetwood Mac productions I am sitting on -- two things from 1979-80, and the Mirage Tour '82 concert special. (I do not have all the fine details at the moment. I'm not sure if a Tusk documentary is one of them.) I mastered and completed them long ago; they are as ready to go as they will ever be. You may remember some years ago I shared a couple of samples (which is what you must be alluding to.)

However, despite all the time I spent on them, I am not satisfied with their final outcomes. (Actually, with some more refinement, the Mirage production is probably worth a release, but not the other two.) Neither of the pressing tapes held up particularly well, so the video is not as good as it probably could be, and neither is the audio. I have been convinced that certainly there has to be better out there... until your post. Is it really that bad?

yes the only concert footage from 79 which was shot in St louis I think was a few songs on the Tusk documentary

like the Sample you showed a few years ago which was the song Angel from that documentary or maybe you have the whole concert film, if so then you are sitting on a treasure, as it is a great concert by the looks of the fantastic 4-5 tracks that are on the documentary

and yes, the only copy out there has only left audio and is from a bad VHS, and Ive downloaded about 4 versions of the film!!

Im sure your version would be a 100 times better by the looks of the sample you showed years ago, and like I said the tracks on the doc, if it is the documentary you have are really great stuff

great versions of Sisters of the moon, chain, Angel, Sara and more

but i know it came out on laserdisc, so someone has to have a better copy and I was hopeing that would be you!!

the Mirage gig is OK, average performance, plus it is available in some con tries on DVD

I just took a quick view of what must be the Tusk documentary (that's my guess, because it never really says). The sound is not as bad as I was thinking it was; there's a bit of hiss and not very good definition, but still excellent. The video is still where I have issues. The picture is clear, but there's quite a bit of tape artifacting, some places worse than others.

I checked around Youtube a bit, and you're right -- what's out there is crap. Although I think this one could be bested by a source out there I am not aware of, I might make this happen.

A new version of the Tusk Documentary would be like gold for a lot of people, what you have has to be better than anything out there

and there really are some great songs on that film

SO please make it happen, Ive been waiting 4 plus years since you upped the samples, LOL

I can do any Artwork if needed, If you remember I did Trainspotters O2 concert and a few other Zepp bootlegs

Neither of the pressing tapes held up particularly well, so the video is not as good as it probably could be, and neither is the audio.

I just ran the tape for the Tusk Documentary again. Unfortunately, it has not survived; it is in even worse condition than when I first acquired it. So I give up -- the mastering I did in 2005 will be the one I share. Watch for it this weekend.
